Father's Day is just around the corner and my husband has always been such a wonderful dad! To celebrate this special day, I've created a steampunk themed card for him featuring ScrapBerry's Words Live Forever Collection. I just adore the opportunity to create masculine projects like this!

Please don't forget!
ScrapBerry's is hosting a family themed challenge during May and June.

Tips and Techniques

I hand cut this fabulous stopwatch from the Words Live Together Stopwatches page and popped it up with foam tape to tuck the ScrapBerry's Silver Set of Wings coming out from under each side. I topped it with a chipboard gear from my stash that I heat embossed with dark gold embossing powder and metal clock hands.

I used the ScrapBerry's Butterflies Wings Clear Stamps to accent around the paper edge for a grungy border. To add texture I adhered silver chunky glass glitter and Prills below the clock.

This paper is perfect for a masculine card. The Holiday Romance Chipboard Elements No. 3 collection includes this fabulous arrow. It's so quick and easy to give chipboard a metallic look by heat setting with gold or silver embossing powder.

The grungy background is created by stenciling a grid design with Black Lava Gel Medium. For a subtle touch, I used grey ink to stencil clock designs onto the background paper as well.

This is awesome Tracey!! Love the clock .. it looks fabulous with the metal hands and the angel wings in the background. The stamping around the edge is a brilliant idea and I love the grid stencil too!! Absolutely stunning card!! Hugs and Blessings. xx
